“My contributions to the economic development of the state is second to none. How many of them have their businesses in Ondo State? These are truths that can be verified any time,” Ajipe said.
“I am pained any time I see little children drop out of school because their parents cannot pay their school fees. But unfortunately that is what is happening because of the lackadaisical attitude of the man that we have elected in the last 12 years. I believe that things can be better than what we have gotten in the last 12 years.”
